I need other moms opinions. Miguel wants to continue to wrestle. He wants to wrestle the easier tournaments and sit out the hard ones. His doctors arwnt huge fans of it because his bones may be brittle from the chemo. They dont know if they are but theres a chance. I wanna let him because he doesnt deserve to have everything he loves stripped from him. All he had was school and wrestling and schools aready been taken so i dont want him to miss out on wrestling too... if you were in my situation would you force your child to miss out on his favorite sport because of cancer or would you say the benifits of keeping him happy and feeling some sort of normalicy in all of this out weigh the risks. Just wanna add the the doctors said they have never had a kid who was a wrestler that had cancer so they cant say how much of a risk it would be
Right now he is coaching the team but he wants to wrestle. He wants to do both. Hes not as happy as he thought he would be just coaching.. @ss3mom his prognosis is poor. At a stage 4 with this kind of cancer it only carries a 20% 5 year survival rate. So far its responding to treatment but sometimes after 6 months it stops responding. He will always be high risk for cancer even if he beats this one
I agree with @queenmeeks, I hate to say that he probably shouldn’t wrestle. It’s very sad that he can’t participate in the one sport he loves!! But I think given the circumstance and the unknown it may be best to have him sit out for now. Maybe he can get back to it on the future. Do u have a prognosis? Like can this type of cancer be beat? What’s the survival rate with treatment? If it’s a good prognosis and he will go into remission then he will def be able to wrestle one day!! I know those questions are very tough and very personal so u don’t have to answer them if you’re not comfortable. But those answers would ultimately make the decision for me. I’ve been thinking about your family and wondering how u are all doing. I’ve been very busy lately so I haven’t been on much. Also as Queen Meeks said maybe he can be part of the team in another way. What if he helps out the couch? Team manager or any other position they will give him. Cause I’m sure if u talked to the coach they would def give him a job to do!! Good luck with the decision. I’m so sorry he may not be able to wrestle at this time. Breaks my heart for him!!
Awh! Poor guy is already going through so much! A broken bone would suck on top of it 😓 I agree with the above ladies, maybe he can be involved in a different manner! Hoping for a speedy recovery for him 💕
I agree with the above. Let him be involved in another way but it’s not worth risking his health 😔
Can he participate in other ways? "Assistant coach"
Team mascot
Etc
While I understand not wanting to take another thing from him... I have also watched my fair share of people go through chemo. I wouldn't want to risk his body having to heal from a break AND fight cancer AND be strong through chemo.
I'd put on my thinking cap and get creative. Thats my personal opinion.
I'm so glad he's feeling well enough to consider it! Prayers his way
I would probably err on the side of caution and not let him wrestle. I know he loves it, but potential broken bones are going to cause him even more trouble. Could he possibly be the team manager? That way he could still be involved and be around, but he isn’t risking his body.
With such a high risk cancer i want him to live his life to the fullest and make him happy.
